<h4><a name = "tag_001_009_084">&nbsp;</a>NAME</h4><blockquote>
mv - pointer page for functions with <i>mv</i> prefix
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_009_085">&nbsp;</a>DESCRIPTION</h4><blockquote>
Most cases in which a Curses function has the <i>mv</i> prefix
indicate that the function takes
<i>y</i>
and
<i>x</i>
arguments and moves the cursor to that address as though
<i><a href="move.html">move()</a></i>
were first called.  (The corresponding functions without the <i>mv</i> prefix
operate at the cursor position.)
The
<i><a href="mvcur.html">mvcur()</a></i>,
<i><a href="mvderwin.html">mvderwin()</a></i>
and
<i><a href="mvwin.html">mvwin()</a></i>
functions are exceptions to this rule, in that <i>mv</i> is not a prefix with
the usual meaning and there are no corresponding functions without the
<i>mv</i> prefix.  These functions have entries under their own names.
<p>
In the
<i><a href="mvprintw.html">mvprintw()</a></i>
and
<i><a href="mvscanw.html">mvscanw()</a></i>
functions, <i>mv</i> is a prefix with the usual meaning, but the functions have
entries under their own names because the <i>mv</i> function is the first
function in the family of functions in alphabetical order.
<p>
The <i>mv</i> prefix is combined with a <i>w</i> prefix to produce Curses
functions beginning with <i>mvw</i>.
<p>
The <i>mv</i> and <i>mvw</i> functions are discussed together with the
corresponding functions that do not have these prefixes.  They are found on
the following entries:
